Port Side to Serve Its Final Cup of Coffee on July 5

Located at 2500 Larimer Street in the Five Points neighborhood, Port Side has been a local favorite for a decade. The spot is known for its chef-driven breakfast and lunch menu, along with freshly brewed coffee.

In an Instagram post, the team wrote, “Big thanks to everyone that came by or wished us good luck or high fives, left a note or a like on our 10 year run.”

He added “I decided not to re-sign our lease and go out on my terms, on top, in a good place. Port Side’s last day of service will be Sunday July 5. That leaves 3 weekends to say our “see you laters” and get that fix.”
